Noni Madueke is the talk of North London and Bruges after Arsenal’s 3-0 Champions League win over Club Brugge.
The Arsenal winger scored two goals on the night, making it three goals in his previous two Champions League appearances.
Madueke’s first goal was a screamer, as the Englishman carried the ball inwards from the right before unleashing a perfect strike on goal.
It was a performance so good that even Thierry Henry was captivated by Madueke; however, it was something that happened away from the pitch that had others talking.
How good was this man tonight?

Joe Hart loved Noni Madueke’s call for Arsenal to win silverware
After the contest, Madueke spoke to TNT Sports to react to what he’d done to Club Brugge.
During the interview, the summer signing painted a picture of the confidence in the Arsenal squad right now, revealing two of the aims for the season.
“I feel we can compete on all four fronts, and obviously, I think we can win this competition, and I think we can win the league as well,” Madueke said.
“That has to be our aim, yeah, I think we’re in a good place at the moment.”
Is Noni Madueke right? Can Arsenal complete a Premier League and Champions League double?
In the TNT Sports studio [22:13 10/12/25], Joe Hart absolutely loved what Madueke said, calling the England international ‘brave’.
“He was brave to say that they can win the Premier League, I love that.”
A lot is being said about Arsenal’s ability to win the title this season, with Madueke coming out and saying it how it is.
It was a top night for the former Chelsea ace, who has a Premier League and Champions League double on his mind.
Madueke sent Chelsea a message against Club Brugge
Given how heavily Arsenal fans criticised Madueke’s transfer, things have worked out pretty well for the winger so far.
There’s no doubt that many supporters owe the 23-year-old an apology, and on the topic of sorries, the Gunners owe Chelsea one.
Arsenal’s £48m expenditure on Madueke is looking more and more worthwhile as time passes, with his ceiling so clearly sitting incredibly high.
Already, Arteta is finding a way to get the best out of his player, but it has to be said that in this instance, it’s mainly credit to the player himself.
Madueke works tirelessly after training to become the best version of himself, and it’s really paying off.
Chelsea will surely be feeling as though they parted ways with the Englishman too soon, as at 23, his tale is only just beginning.
